Teacher of Technology

Kingsway Park High School was established in 2010 and joined the Altus Education Partnership in February 2022. We are now a very popular oversubscribed school (1350 students in years 7-11 and 190 staff) located in central Rochdale. We are very proud of the high-quality facilities, resources, and environment that we provide for both staff and students.

At Kingsway Park High School we strive to transform students’ lives. Through our relationships, we endeavour to instil both resilience and an intrinsic motivation to become confident, creative, and highly skilled students, capable of meeting tomorrow’s challenges head on. We strive to establish a culture rooted in achievement and progress that encourages our students to grow academically, personally, and socially, equipping them with the values of equality, fairness and openness. We pride ourselves on our relentless drive to achieve outstanding, high-quality teaching that provides a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment for all our students to be able to realise their academic potential in pursuit of educational excellence.

We are looking to appoint a teacher of Technology who is looking for a new challenge and is willing to join an innovative and forward-thinking department. The ideal candidate must have a real passion for their subject and be equipped with the skills to maximise outcomes for students at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. Technology is currently taught once a week at Kingsway Park High School at Key Stage 3 and by Year 9 offers several distinct pathways at GCSE including 3D Design, Graphics, Engineering, Food Science and Nutrition and Construction. All of these options are becoming increasingly popular with our students, and we are looking for someone with the drive and passion to continue to increase the subject popularity through the delivery of quality lessons, production of engaging resources and extensive use of their own subject knowledge.

The ideal candidate will be expected to deliver predominantly a range of technology subjects at KS3 including Food science and nutrition, Design Technology and ICT. You will also be expected to deliver KS4 lessons in your chosen specialism. This is an exciting time to contribute to the remapping of the technology curriculum and to align the curriculum intent with the school’s new mission statement- ‘We Cooperate, We Pioneer, We Belong.’
